Clearly Carl Beckhorn cares, so this is trivially incorrect.

More generally, there are interesting things to know about our
contributors en masse; for instance, it would be nice to know if there
are groups of people under-represented as Wikipedia editors compared
to their representation as Internet users, and worth it to try and
figure out why that might be so.
